The cigar has an attractive appearance. Its wrapper is light brown and has a slightly oily sheen. Some fine veins are visible as well. The cigar feels firm to the touch and does not have any real flaws that are noticeable. A large band near the head displays the Torano name and the Noventa label. The band is very eye-catching with its mix of black, gold, red, and yellow. Prior to lighting, the cigar has a sweet cold taste and an earthy scent.

The burn of the Noventa Latin is good, but not perfect. It has a tendency to get uneven at times, but nothing that a touch-up cannot fix. The draw is just right, and it produces some ash that is solid and light in color.

Creamy notes are the first that are noticeable. They later give way to some spice and cedar. A bit of earth joins in, and a slight hint of coffee can be detected as well. There is also some sweetness that seems to linger.

Overall, the Noventa Latin is an enjoyable smoke. It's appearance is inviting, and its burn does not have any major issues to contend with. The flavors are not out of this world, but they are varied enough to keep the cigar from becoming a bore. Those who enjoy Nicaraguan puros should give it a try. The Noventa Latin is not cheap, and a single retails somewhere around $13. If you shop around, however, you can find it at a discount price online. It also comes in packs of five and boxes of 25.

The Carlos Torano Noventa Latin earns a rating of three out of four stars.
